  1. Using Module Headers March 2006

  2. Module Header Purpose • Module“headers” are provided for all Toolkit modules, whether Fortran, C or IDL. • This is the fundamental source for detailed user information and examples on how to use the module. • For some families of modules (e.g. SPK), additional information about the whole family is provided in a “required reading” document (e.g. …/doc/spk.req) • Depending on the language, these “headers” may be found within the source code, or under the …/doc directory, or both. (See the next three pages.) Using Module Headers

  3. Fortran Module Header Locations • For FORTRAN toolkits, the headers are provided within the source code modules. • YOURNAIFINSTALLATIONROOT/toolkit/src/spicelib/*.f or *.for • In most cases there is a single “header” at the top of the source code. • In a few cases, where a module has multiple entry points, there are additional “headers” at each entry point (e.g. “pool”). Using Module Headers

  4. C Module Header Locations • For C toolkits the headers are provided in two formats, at two locations. • Plain text: • YOURNAIFINSTALLATIONROOT/cspice/src/cspice/*.c • HTML: • YOURNAIFINSTALLATIONROOT/cspice/doc/html/cspice/index.html Using Module Headers

  5. Icy Module Header Locations • For IDL (“Icy”) toolkits, two kinds of headers are provided. • Icy wrappers in html format: • YOURNAIFINSTALLATIONROOT/cspice/doc/html/icy/index.html • This is a minimal set of information, and refers the user to the corresponding cspice header for details. • cspice headers, in text and html formats: • YOURNAIFINSTALLATIONROOT/cspice/src/cspice/*.c • YOURNAIFINSTALLATIONROOT/cspice/doc/html/cspice/index.html Using Module Headers

  6. CSPICE_SPKEZR Module Header I • Let’s examine the information contained in an “Icy” module header using the SPKEZR module as example. Each module contains • Abstract • Inputs/Outputs (I/O) • Examples • Particulars • Required Reading • Version (History Information) • Important: the information in an “Icy” wrapper is considered the bare minimum that might be needed by a user. More detail is provided in the corresponding cspice wrapper. Using Module Headers

  7. Abstract Information -AbstractCSPICE_SPKEZR returns the state (position and velocity) of a target body relative to an observing body, optionally corrected for light  time (planetary aberration) and stellar aberration. Using Module Headers

  8. Input/Output Information - 1 -I/O   Given:      targ      the scalar string name of a target body,                optionally, you may supply the integer ID code                for the object as an integer string, i.e. both                "MOON" and "301" are legitimate strings that                indicate the Moon is the target body,                The target and observer define a state vector                whose position component points from the observer                to the target.      et        the scalar or N-vector of double precision ephemeris time,                expressed as seconds past J2000 TDB, at which the state                of the target body relative to the observer is to be                computed, 'et' refers to time at the observer's location      ref       the scalar string name of the reference frame relative                to which the output state vector should be expressed      abcorr    the scalar string name of the aberration corrections                to be applied to the state of the target body to account                for one-way light time and stellar aberration      obs       the scalar string name of a observing body,                optionally, you may supply the integer ID code                for the object as an integer string, i.e. both                "MOON" and "301" are legitimate strings that                indicate the moon is the observing body continues Using Module Headers

  9. Input/Output Information - 2 cspice_spkezr, targ, et, ref, abcorr, obs, starg, ltime   returns: starg   a double precision Cartesian 6-vector or 6xN array representing the position in kilometers and velocity in kilometers-per-second of the target body relative to the specified observer.The first three components of 6-vector 'starg‘ represent the x-, y- and z-components of the target's position; the last three components form the corresponding velocity vector. The 6xN form of 'starg' returns as starg[6,N]. Retrieve the ith state vector via: state_i = state[*,i] ltime   the double precision, scalar or N-vector, one-way light time between the observer and target in seconds; if the target state is corrected for aberrations, then 'ltime' is the one-way light time between the observer and the light time corrected target locationPlease note, CSPICE documentation and source code uniformly uses the variable name 'lt' to designate the light-time between an observer and target. IDL uses "lt" as the less-than numeric comparison operator and so does not allow "lt" as a variable name.Therefore, Icy documentation uses the name 'ltime’ for the light-time value.'starg' and 'ltime' return with the same order (N) as 'et'. continues Using Module Headers

  10. Input/Output Information - 3 The cspice_spkezr function performs the same operation as • cspice_spkez with the exception that cspice_spkezr expects arguments 'targ' and 'obs' to pass as strings, whereas • cspice_spkez expects the arguments as integers. cspice_spkezr also accepts the string form of the integer NAIF IDs as inputs to 'targ' and 'obs', e.g.      targ = "Mars"      obs  = "Earth"   or (remember, string representation of the integers)      targ = "499"      obs  = "399" Using Module Headers

  11. Examples - 1 - Examples Any numerical results shown for this example may differ between platforms as the results depend on the SPICE kernels used as input and the machine specific arithmetic implementation.      ;;      ;; Load a set of kernels: an SPK file, a PCK file and a leapseconds file. Use a meta      ;; kernel for convenience.      ;; cspice_furnsh, "standard.ker"      ;;      ;; Define parameters for a state lookup:      ;;      ;; Return the state vector of Mars (499) as seen from Earth (399) in the J2000 frame      ;; using aberration correction LT+S (light time plus stellar aberration) at the epoch      ;; July 4, 2003 11:00 AM PST.      ;;      target   = "Mars"      epoch    = 'July 4, 2003 11:00 AM PST'      frame    = "J2000"      abcorr   = "LT+S"      observer = "Earth"      ;;      ;; Convert the epoch to ephemeris time.      ;; cspice_str2et, epoch, et continues Using Module Headers

  12. Examples - 2       ;; Look-up the state for the defined parameters.      ;;      cspice_spkezr, target, et, frame, abcorr, observer, state, ltime      ;;      ;; Output...      print, 'The position of    : ', target      print, 'As observed from   : ', observer      print, 'In reference frame : ', frame      print, 'At epoch           : ', epoch           ;; The first three entries of state contain the X, Y, Z position components. The final ;; three contain the Vx, Vy, Vz velocity components.      ;;      print, 'Scalar'      print, 'R (kilometers)     : ', state[0:2]      print, 'V (kilometers/sec) : ', state[3:5]      print, 'Light time (secs)  : ', ltime      print, ' between observer'      print, ' and target'      ;;      ;; Create a vector of et's, starting at 'epoch‘ in steps of 100000 ephemeris seconds.      ;;      SIZE   = 5      vec_et = dindgen( SIZE )*100000. + et      ;; Look up the 'state' vectors and light time values 'lt'  corresonding to the vector of ;; input ephemeris time 'vec_et'.      cspice_spkezr, target  , vec_et, frame, abcorr, observer, state , ltime print, 'Vector' cspice_et2utc, vec_et, 'C', 3, vec_epoch continues Using Module Headers

  13. Examples - 3       ;;      ;; When called with a vector 'et', cspice_spkezr returns      ;; 'state' as an 6xN matrix. Extract the ith state from the      ;; matrix as:      ;;      ;;   state_i = state[*,i]      ;;      for i=0, 4 do begin         print, 'At epoch (UTC)     : ', vec_epoch[i]         print, 'R (kilometers)     : ', (state[*,i])[0:2]         print, 'V (kilometers/sec) : ', (state[*,i])[3:5]         print, 'Light time (secs)  : ', ltime[i]         print, ' between observer'         print, ' and target'         print     endfor      ;;      ;; It's always good form to unload kernels after use,      ;; particularly in IDL due to data persistence.      ;; cspice_unload, "standard.ker" Using Module Headers

  14. Examples: Printout      IDL outputs:      The position of    : Mars      As observed from   : Earth      In reference frame : J2000      At epoch           : July 4, 2003 11:00 AM PST      Scalar      R (kilometers)     :        73822235.      -27127919.      -18741306.      V (kilometers/sec) :       -6.8090923       7.5131823       3.0009890      Light time (secs)  :        269.68988       between observer       and target      Vector      At epoch (UTC)     : 2003 JUL 04 19:00:00.000      R (kilometers)     :        73822235.      -27127919.      -18741306.      V (kilometers/sec) :       -6.8090923       7.5131823       3.0009890      Light time (secs)  :        269.68988       between observer       and target      At epoch (UTC)     : 2003 JUL 05 22:46:40.000      R (kilometers)     :        73140185.      -26390525.      -18446763.      V (kilometers/sec) :       -6.8317855       7.2333512       2.8893940      Light time (secs)  :        266.56404       between observer       and target … (etc.) Using Module Headers

  15. Particulars • Particulars • None. Note: this is an example of where important details are provided in the corresponding cspice module header (spkezr_c.c). There, the “Particulars” section is several pages long! It is not replicated here (in “Icy”) just to reduce maintenance problems. Using Module Headers

  16. Required Reading    For important details concerning this module's function, please refer to   the CSPICE routine spkezr_c. ICY.REQ SPK.REQ FRAMES.REQ A statement similar to this one appears in each “Icy” header. Using Module Headers
